    You know just for shits and giggles here can you actually go into a mental health center and commit yourself. Just sitting here thinking about that for a moment.

    I'm pretty sure you can. I doubt they could turn anyone away if they said they were a danger to themselves. They wouldn't want to be liable if anything happened to them if they refused to hold them.

    what country are you in, nemro?


    in the states, they might have to take you, but if you don't have insurance, they'll probably give you the boot pretty quick

    I had a g.f. that would commit her self telling the doctors that she had suicideal thoughts and would check her self out later by signing a aginist med advice form . The ones that I have visited are not nice places , just staying there a while would make you crazy . desert rat

    Half my family is in the medical field, and as such, I've seen a few Psych Wards. Some were nice, some not so much. I'm not gonna say if you should commit yourself or not, especially if it's just for shits and giggles, but if you feel the need to, do some research on the place before you do.

    and your question is what?

    [SIZE=+1]§ 5100.71. [/SIZE]Voluntary examination and treatment.

    (a) Persons 14 years of age or older may seek voluntary inpatient treatment if they substantially understand the nature of such treatment and the treatment setting. Parents or guardians who decide to seek voluntary inpatient treatment for persons under 14 years of age may do so only in accordance with the act and applications regulations.
    (b) The test of a person’s substantial understanding for inpatient treatment is met if the person gives consent to the information and explanations outlined in section 203 of the act (50 P. S. § 4203).
    (c) Behavorial consent, as defined in § 5100.2 (relating to definitions) shall be sufficient consent for persons presently receiving treatment at a facility to remain at that facility and to participate in treatment which is explained to him. Behavioral consent shall be documented under § 5100.73 (relating to explanation and consent to inpatient treatment). Behavorial consent shall not be relied upon for admission to or transfer from a facility.

    depending on your finances, you may be eligible for medicaid

    some states have state-sponsored health care for poor folks

    there are also some cheap or free community health centers


    if you are really in danger, please go ahead to a hospital now

    you may be able to deal with your situation on an out-patient basis

    folks here know the ropes about the mental health system and may be able to help

    Maybe some icelandic: Farðu í rassgat.

    This thread is now about swearing at people in different languages.
